ISIS, Islam’s bastard child, indulges its ugliest passion

The world is again witness to a horrifically barbaric execution.

The idolatrous transformation – of the relative into the absolute,and the all-too-human into the divine – makes it possiblefor man to indulge his ugliest passion, in the firm beliefthat he is working for the highest good.– Aldous Huxley

Following the murderous attacks on both the men and women, at the French satirical publication Charlie Hebdo, by members of al-Qaida, the entire world was further saddened by the barbarous beheading of Japanese Journalist Kenji Goto. And, while little hope was held out, last Tuesday’s brutal immolation of 26-year-old Jordanian pilot Muath al-Kaseasbeh, went truly beyond the pale.*

To be ashamed of one’s immorality: That is a step on the staircase,
at whose end, one is also ashamed of one’s morality.
– Friedrich Nietzsche
